Have you already gotten a CASE interview? I think you might end up having more luck there simply because there is no IS vs OOS discrimination and it seems you applied pretty early too which definetely helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Man thats a ballin MCAT, I hope you applied to dartmouth, Mayo, mount sinai, NYU, etc. All the average mcat scores are 32-33 and theyre all good schools needless to say. LOL, Mayo might have a 33 MCAT average, but the acceptance rate is 2.3%. Numbers aren't all...there's a ton of people with 35+ 3.9+ getting rejected PRE-SECONDARY from Mayo.

I was only complete Sept 26, so they probably haven't had a time to look at my file yet. Hopefully they'll like it. I've worked on three different research projects, two of them medically related, and a third chemical engineering project that will be published in December. And as Jochi said, you can't put too much into numbers since med school admissions are not so cut and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I saw a41 post previously and I remember him having great research experience/potential and ECs, so if the average is 32-33 then it means that his mcat/stats are not going to be a weakness in his application at all, and that brings him 1 step closer to getting admitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCC Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Placed on 'hold' by SUNY upstate and Connecticut. In other words, we shall delay sending you a rejection letter. But meanwhile, why dont you worry about it a little more for another 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It's in less than 2 weeks. I should know the decision before the end of November. Hopefully it won't be a waitlist, I'd hate to wait again. If I get in at Case, I'm gonna withdraw from almost everywhere in the US (save for Minnesota and maybe another school) and just forget about the US process until Canadian decisions are out.

But meanwhile, why dont you worry about it a little more for another 2 months. Hehe, I got the hold from UConn, too...(2 weeks ago or so) although I really don't consider a hold to be a rejection. There ARE people who are getting flat-out rejections and people from the hold pool DO receive interviews later, and quite often. I haven't heard anything from Upstate yet, but I did something really stupid, so I doubt it'll be a favorable decision. I sent them a money order addressed to Albert Einstein (from where I withdrew later, anyway - I hate NYC), and for the wrong amount, too. And now it's documented in detail on my status page - "sent check for wrong amt, wrng schl.":rolleyes: I did send them the right money order as soon as I found out, but I'm not holding my breath.

Jochi1543 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ahaha....man, that sucks, but it's also too funny! LOL, yeah, I mixed those up, too, so I sent the wrong check to Einstein, as well. I also forgot to include my picture with the Einstein app AND mailed it to the general address of the school, not the admissions office! Given all that and its location in the Bronx, I decided not to bother sending the correct check at this point, because I'd really rather wait another year than go to med in NYC. I withdrew from all the NYC schools pre-secondary, except Columbia (got a "special friend" who goes there, hehe...he wrote me a rec letter, too ).

Jochi1543 Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Urgh, WTF!!! Top choice - Minnesota! Seriously, my stats are about their average, and I went to school in MN...the BEST school in the state. And my essays were pretty good! How is that not enough for an interview? I've got better treatment from OOS schools where I didn't go to undergrad! URGGGGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I think that you should be quite proud of your case interview! Wish you the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
